St Edwards Christian College at East Gosford is planning to build a new compound for its construction and woodwork programs.
The existing building will be replaced with an improved, purpose-built single-storey multi-purpose educational centre for the school’s Technology and Applied Studies courses.
Students will benefit from a more functional and secure learning environment, promoting skills development and engagement, and enhancing the school’s long-term educational offerings, potentially increasing its standing within the community and supporting local services and businesses.
The location of the new building would be in the area bounded by Russell Drysdale St and Albert St, east of the school playing fields.
It will replace the existing cricket nets and small construction compound adjacent to the boundary.
The new compound will have dedicated workshop spaces, a staff office, material storage and amenities, ensuring a well-equipped setting for hands-on learning.
By replacing smaller facilities with a modern, purpose-designed space, the project aims to enhance the quality and breadth of construction-related education.
The estimated cost of the development is about $4.2M.
